Swami Vivekananda's The Complete Book of Yoga is an essential text that bridges ancient yogic wisdom with modern practices. Through a series of lectures, Vivekananda explores the foundational teachings of Raja Yoga, Hatha Yoga and Bhakti Yoga, offering profound insights into the transformative power of yoga for mind, body and spirit. This work provides a roadmap to self-mastery, inner peace and spiritual freedom. Initially presented to Western audiences in the late 19th century, it serves as both a philosophical guide and a practical manual for integrating yoga into everyday life. The book delves into consciousness, meditation and the pursuit of enlightenment, making it a valuable resource for spiritual growth. Its timeless teachings continue to inspire countless individuals on their journey toward self-realisation and a deeper understanding of existence.
Swami Vivekananda (1863–1902) was a key Indian spiritual leader known for introducing Vedanta and Yoga to the West. Born Narendranath Datta in Kolkata, he showed deep intellectual curiosity and spiritual insight from a young age. Under the guidance of his guru, Ramakrishna Paramahamsa, he committed himself to teaching the principles of Hinduism and self-realization. His influence grew after his famous speech at the 1893 Parliament of Religions in Chicago, promoting religious tolerance and unity. He emphasized that spirituality involves recognizing one’s higher potential through meditation, defining Yoga as a holistic path to spiritual growth. Vivekananda’s teachings, which blend philosophical depth with practical advice, continue to inspire millions on their journeys toward inner peace and enlightenment.
